There will not be a Dog of the Year contest this year because there are not enough remaining board members nor volunteers needed

Our priority at this time is bringing on new board members willing to assist the existing board or the city will have to appoint a committee to oversee the basic operations of the park

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Do Dah Parade!

We had our current Dog of the Year, Mr. P.W. Scrubbs, walk with us as well as last year's winner Moe, and Misty from the year before. Misty Blu, a contestant from last year, joined us on the boards. What a beautiful day!

The Dog Park is an access controlled fenced-in, off leash recreation area for dogs where well behaved canine citizens can interact, exercise and play in a clean, safe and secure environment.

The 42,000 square foot park with sandy soil ground cover has three separate areas: large dog area (dogs over 25 lbs), small dog area (dogs under 25 lbs) and dog run area for all dogs.

Park facilities include double gated entrance and unleash area with secure electronic locking gates, shared pavilion in small and large dog area with picnic table in each area, open shed shelters, sitting benches, water fountains for dogs and owners, "pooper scooper" dispensers and disposable bags, trash and recycling containers, several inoperable fire hydrants for doggie relief, interactive play equipment, a Port-a-Potty, free off street parking lot and a designated handicap area.

Park hours are from 8 am to dusk, 7 days a week, year round.

Directions: When heading southbound on West Avenue, make a right hand turn onto 45th Street and proceed approximately 1/4 of a block until you see the Dog Park on your right along with a parking area where Handicap parking is available. Signs have been placed on West Avenue in both directions denoting the location of the Park

An access card, or "Paw Pass" is required to gain entry into the park. For more information on how to obtain an access card please see below.
